answering Taff's question...they need all that spare space on the left for ADVERTISING (caps for emphasis) to claw back the money they no longer get from free FR.... or am I just an old cynic?!

GR....

as someone who helped decide on the background colour for another site...I can tell you that if you had gone approximately 2 tones lighter with the dark green it would have been much more restful on the eyes of those of us who wear glasses!

Not so sure about the colours, but I like the idea of the reply box at the top of the page.

Will have to see how it goes, cos I don't suppose GR will take much notice of our views, we are only the users lol

Not sure about this, it is hard on the eyes.

If you go to your tool bar, click on page & then zoom & set to 125%. This removes most of the boarders. But the lettering size makes me want to stand beyond arms length of the keyboard.

Also the page Nos at bottom of page don't show properly.
